My fave pink and purple lipsticks of the year!

In 2016 it was all about the palest of pinks to the deepest of burgundy lips. We even saw some black lipstick on the red carpet (we’re talking about you Rihanna, Lily Collins and Katy Perry!). I took a look to put together my favorites from 2016 and spring 2017. Guess what? We’re still seeing similar tones – but with a bit more peachy touch on the light side and a true wine red on the dark side. Of course my favourite is always somewhere in the middle!

Covergirl is launching some pretty cool 2-in-1 colour & gloss duos for Spring. I love, love, love the creamy peachy pink of this hue, nude intensity. The lip colour above (furthest on the right) is Deep Burgundy, perfect for fall and winter.

Make Up For Ever Artist Acrylip in 200 Candy Pink is part of the newest launch from make up for ever – Artist Acrylip – 10 bold and buildable shades inspired by the rich intensity of acrylic paint. Candy Pink is a bright, cotton candy pink with cool, blue undertones and a cream finish. You need very little product to achieve full opacity.
